The rain of arrows in the sky intertwined into a network of light, covering the sky above the river bank.
Cars and boats, like mad sharks in the water, rushed against the rain of arrows.
On several decks, the shieldmen built layers of fish scale shields to cover the crossbowmen behind them as they fired arrows at the Wu position on the river bank.
Huang Gai on the shore was galloping back and forth, directing the soldiers to fire arrows without hesitation.
In addition to the crossbowmen, the Wu people also deployed heavy long-range weapons such as catapults on the shore. The stone bullets fell into the water, causing huge waves and killing Yan Jun soldiers on the nearby warships.
Wet.
The locust-like arrows and the roaring trebuchets formed a dense network of firepower.
Under this defense, officers and soldiers of Yan's army were constantly shot and killed by arrows, and stone bullets continued to hit the warships, and soldiers fell into the water in droves.
The screams came one after another, but they were quickly drowned in the sound of the rushing water.
Life was not easy for the Wu people on the shore. The arrows reflected from Yan Jun's warships were equally dense. The Wu soldiers deployed on the outside of the waterway were constantly hit by arrows and fell into the water. The blood dyed the coastal line with a layer of red.
The resistance of the Wu people was not tenacious, but the disadvantages in numbers and combat effectiveness meant that although the Wu people tried their best, they were unable to block the Yan army's advance.
Among the more than 7,000 soldiers guarding the main camp, nearly 3,000 were recruits transferred from the rear. These soldiers, who had only had small fights with the Shanyue people, had never seen such a tragic scene. They were mentally defeated.
One step ahead.
However, those led by Gan Ning were the elite of Yan's army who had fought in hundreds of battles. Looking at the entire Yangtze River, who could defeat them?
Fifty steps——
Thirty steps——
Twenty steps——
Facing the rain of arrows, the first dozen or so vehicles and ships finally successfully rushed to the enemy camp.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound, the rushing warship used the momentum to smash the wooden fence of the water gate in one fell swoop, and rushed straight into the waterway with the unabated momentum.
On the warship, Yan Jun's infantry had been unable to restrain themselves for a long time. Before the warship could stop, they jumped from the ship to the trestle in a swarm, slashing mercilessly at the panicked Wu soldiers with their swords.
The archers were useless, and the close-quarters fighting began.
Huang Gai, who was conducting operations on the shore, saw that the enemy ships still broke into the water camp, and his expression changed drastically.
Without thinking much, Huang Gai rode his horse, wielded his sword, and led hundreds of his troops towards the trestle.
At this time, more and more warships crashed into the waterway, and countless Yan Jun soldiers, like tigers emerging from the cage, came to the shore to kill them.
Relying on their numerical advantage, Yan's army moved like a tidal wave on several trestles in the center, forcing the panicked Wu soldiers to retreat step by step, all the way back from the trestles to the river bank.
Once Yan's army is allowed ashore and breaks into the hinterland of the water camp from the center, the entire shore defense will collapse.
Wu Jun's defensive position is already in danger.
"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed——"
Amidst the roar, Huang Gai rode his horse and wielded his sword to kill him. With his sword in his hand, he first killed several Wu soldiers who were retreating.
Under this bloody intimidation, the retreat was finally suppressed. The Wu soldiers could only muster up their courage and press forward against Yan Jun, who was almost rushing ashore.
Huang Gai's blade swept in all directions, harvesting heads crazily, leading Wu Jun to suppress the position, and forced Yan Jun back to the trestle.
Although Yan's army had a large number, the trestle was narrow and could not be deployed. Instead, it was unable to take advantage of its numbers and was blocked by Wu's army on the trestle.
While the infantry resisted stubbornly, the crossbowmen of the Wu army who had retreated to the shore had also settled down and began to fire arrows at the crowded soldiers of Yan Liang on the trestle.
There were screams, curses, and roars. Yan Jun, who was blocked on the trestle, could only let Wu Jun shoot arrows, but fell into a passive position.
At this time, Gan Ning's flagship had also rushed into the waterway, and he could see the unfavorable situation for his family at a glance.
"You're all fucking stupid. You have to walk on the trestle. Why don't you take the boat and go directly to the beach?"
Amid the curses, Gan Ning held his two halberds and jumped onto the walking boat tied to the side of the ship. The soldiers behind him also rushed to jump on.
Gan Ning stood at the front of the walking boat, using his iron halberd to block the incoming arrows, while shouting: "Get your damn oars and rush to the beach for me -"
"Ho ho ho~~"
The powerful trumpets sounded, the sailors rowed as hard as they could, and the sword and shield bearers held up wooden shields to resist the arrows from the Wu people.
Yan's army, which followed, changed boats one after another, and dozens of boats rushed straight towards the beach along the waterway.
At this time, most of Wu's troops were gathered at one end of the trestle, and they were unable to react in time to Yan Liang's sudden change in offensive tactics.
When Huang Gai noticed Yan's troops rushing ashore one by one, it was already too late.
Gan Ning's walking boat hit the beach first. Gan Ning, half-naked and holding a pair of halberds, was the first to jump off the walking boat, stepping on the shallows and rushing straight to the shore.
Several Wu soldiers came forward with swords in hand and tried to block Gan Ning's path. Gan Ning shouted loudly and rushed forward with two halberds in his hands.
The cold light passes by, and the figures are like the wind
Before the three Wu soldiers could see clearly how Gan Ning would move, a thin red line appeared on each of their necks. The red line expanded rapidly until large streams of blood gushed out like springs.
The three Wu soldiers staggered and fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.
Gan Ning didn't look back, and the blood-stained halberds struck out again, ruthlessly slashing at the enemy soldiers who were blocking the way.
Behind him, countless boats rushed onto the beach one after another. Yan Jun's soldiers rushed onto the beach like a tide, rushing all the way towards the hinterland of the enemy's main camp.
The Wu soldiers on the trestle saw a large number of Yan's troops landing on the beach and attacking them from the flanks. The fighting spirit they had just boosted collapsed in the blink of an eye.
The defeat began again. This time, no matter how Huang Gai killed him, he could not stop his army from retreating and escaping.
As soon as the Wu army collapsed, the pressure on Yan Liang's troops blocked on the trestle suddenly decreased. These iron-blooded soldiers worked hard to break through the enemy's defense line and rushed to the river bank from the trestle.
On the water and on the bridge, Yan's army was as strong as a broken bamboo, and the entire army landed ashore.
In the main direction of the battle, Wu Jun's defense system has fallen apart.
"Xingba did a great job, he is worthy of being the number one general under my command, Yan Liang!"
Yan Liang, who was watching the battle at the center of the river, couldn't help but be very excited when he saw Gan Ning's middle route army attacking the enemy's bank. He ordered the warships to start, and he personally led the Tiger Guards to fight against Wu Camp.
On the bank of the river, Gan Ning was fighting until he rose up. The two iron halberds were so invincible that no one could defeat them.
As he rushed left and right, Gan Ning's bare arms were already covered with a layer of blood-colored battle clothes.
Gan Ning was fighting until he got up, but Huang Gai's heart was as sharp as a knife.
Lu Su trusted Huang Gai the most, so he gave him the task of guarding the central camp. Before the war, he was generous in guaranteeing votes, but how could he expect that it would end up like this.
Huang Gai, who was fighting on horseback, found Gan Ning who was killing him wildly. It was the boy who was a Jinfan thief who broke through his defense line. If he failed in today's battle, where would Huang Gai's reputation be?
Huang Gai was filled with grief and anger, and with anger rising from his heart, he rode his horse to kill the rebel army and went straight to Gan Ning.
"Thief general, come and accept your fate——"
Amidst the loud shouts, a man and a horse came like the wind, and the sword in his hand slashed at Gan Ning's head.
Gan Ning, who was fighting furiously, suddenly turned around, only to see a gray-haired veteran running towards him. Before the blade in his hand could even reach him, the surging force had already swept down on him.
Before the fight, he knew that the enemy's martial arts were not weak, and Gan Ning guessed that this person must be Huang Gai, a veteran of the Wu army.
The old people are here to embarrass themselves, they are really overestimating their abilities!
Gan Ning's murderous intention suddenly increased, his steps staggered, his body tilted to one side, and he quickly avoided Huang Gai's slashing sword.
As he stood up, Gan Ning struck the horse's hoof with his two halberds.
But when he heard a miserable hiss, Huang Gai's horse's two hooves were broken, and he suddenly jumped forward.
Although Huang Gai was old, his reaction was quick. Taking advantage of the momentum of the horse's forward movement, his feet jumped quickly, and Nuo Da's body came out of the saddle and flew steadily to the ground.
The moment he dodged, he was able to counterattack. The strength of this Jinfan thief's martial arts really surprised Huang Gai.
Fang turned around to wait for another fight, but he saw a red shadow in front of his eyes flashing, and Gan Ning's towering body flashed in front of him like a ghost.
The cold light passed by, and the two halberds shot out, attacking the vital points of Huang Gai's ribs.
His movements were so fast and his moves were so fierce, Huang Gai couldn't help but be surprised again.
Before he could think too much, Huang Gai rushed to block the attack with his sword, protecting the vital points on his left and right sides.
Bang Bang~~
With two muffled sounds, Huang Gai's old body moved slightly and barely stood up, but Gan Ning didn't give him a chance to breathe at all. A halberd from the left and a halberd from the right came like the wind.
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning danced his two halberds into layers of iron curtains, wrapping Huang Gai in them.
Facing Gan Ning's aggressive offensive, Huang Gai couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. He had always thought of himself as getting stronger with age, but now he really realized that he was getting old.
A mere kid with a background as a Jinfan thief could actually force one of Jiangdong's three veteran generals to the point where he could only parry. Where does Huang Gai's reputation lie?
What made Huang Gai feel even more desolate was that there were so many talented people under Yan Liang's command. He suddenly felt that facing such a powerful opponent, Sun's luck might really come to an end.
Under the grief and anger, Huang Gai suddenly felt the determination to fight to the death. He shouted suddenly and attacked wildly with the sword in his hand without any effort. Every move hurt both sides and perished together.
Gan Ning originally had the upper hand, but due to Huang Gai's desperate posture, the fight ended in a draw.
Huang Gai's martial arts skills were not weak, and Gan Ning was only slightly better. He had the upper hand before because of his high fighting spirit, as well as the young man's hard work and strength.
At this time, Huang Gai's potential was stimulated and he suddenly went berserk. Gan Ning was a little overwhelmed for a while. After more than ten moves, Huang Gai regained some of the upper hand.
"Huang Gai's martial arts skills are so good. If I continue to be entangled with him like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him with even a few hundred moves. If I kill Lu Su for someone else, it won't be my first achievement.
"
Gan Ning's ambition was not with Huang Gai, but with Lu Su, the head coach of the Wu army. At this time, he could not defeat Huang Gai for the time being, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a thunderous voice from behind: "Leave this Huang Gai to my disposal. Xingba quickly goes to get Lu Su's head!"
Gan Ning's heart was shaken, and he glanced sideways. He was surprised to see that more than ten years away, Yan Liang had already raised his horse and slashed his sword, standing majestic among the rebels like a god general. (To be continued.
